Working on Symphonic Theater of Dreams score - Losing Time/Grand Finale
Please, read this description.
I would like to present “how looks” work on SToD from the composition, production and arrangement side.
This process does not always look like I wrote in this description. This is just an example.
I hope you enjoy the material and it will answer a few questions.
Part I
[0:01] Writing melody in Violin I with accompaniment Violas, adding cellos and contrabasses. Adding Violin II section, to complement the harmony.
[00:19] Writing woodwings section. Flutes, Oboes , Clarinets, Bassons
[00:41] Woodwinds (tutti)
[01:03] Creating brass section. Trombones and Horns
Part II
[01:23] Creating woodwinds ”transformation” - more extensive, virtuoso.
Other instruments – volume down (Horns, Violin I, Violas, Cellos and Cotrabass).
Part III
[01:49] The whole piece (Part I + Part II) - tutti (full orchestra) with added percussion instruments with continued part of the track, but without the melody. 
Summary:
Fragment (based on Part III) contains 34 bars in 23 systems, which gives 782 bars across the score (11 sheets A3).
The first bar contains 42 notes of different values, 31 dynamic, 35 articulation symbols.
If we would like to make this fragment sounded the best on live concert, we would need min. 35 musicians. More musicians = better sound (not in every situation, but in our orchestra and project, yes ;) ).
Please imagine now. Losing Time is an epic ballad.
Important question for you. What statistics, informations I would post about The Dance of Eternity?
I hope you enjoy the material and understand us. We want to give you the best symphonic masterpiece, and now you can see a teaser how long it takes, how many people need to work on our project and how expensive is our “child”. And I would point out that we do not have any sponsorship from any company.
You are the only support, dear fans.
Thank you for your trust and support. Without you, Symphonic Theater of Dreams will not be a big, interesting tribute to one of the best bands ever...

With thanks and big respect to our fans,
Michal Mierzejewski and Symphonic Theater of Dreams crew

Sacrificed Sons (demo 2011) - Symphonic Theater of Dreams

Noah by Nur ( Rough mix)

It started with a simple idea: virtuoso musicians and a pop singer joining to make new-fashioned music the old fashioned way. A band followed, evolving into Flying Colors: Mike Portnoy (drums, vocals), Dave LaRue (bass), Neal Morse (keyboards, vocals), Casey McPherson (vocals, guitar), and Steve Morse (guitar). Together, they create a unique fusion of vintage craftsmanship, contemporary music and blistering live performances.

Got a match (cover)

Judging by the way that he fell   
He must’ve been soaked to the bone 
 Results came in, it sure came clean 
 Way lower than his sins 

Lord have mercy, this sucker dah kena santau…   
Aww aww aww aww! 

Pray that it don’t come out in the news 
 Otherwise we’re all screwed   
One minute we’re catching up on good ol’ days   
Next thing you know, ka ni ne! 

Lord have mercy, this sucker dah kena santau… 
 Aww aww aww aww! 

C’mon now man, let go of her face 
 This ain’t the right time or place   
Hitch a ride home, never heard from again  
Nothing but dust, not a single trace 

Lord have mercy, this sucker dah kena santau… 
 Aww aww aww aww!

Life Is Good

A self-taught, forever-student of life's music STICKSMAN, with nothing held back. Always in search of full musical flavour, solid-strokes, trippy trinkets and heart-thumping bass grooves. Deeply influenced and inspired by grand-masters & beat-legends like Mike Portnoy, Neil Peart, Mike Mangini, Simon Phillips, John Ashley Thomas, Carter Beaufort, and the list goes on. Faithful, disciplined and generous behind the drums, nonetheless reserved, analytical and friendly beyond the drumming vault.

I'm Ammar Khairi and it's my greatest pleasure to have you here. Check out my songs, released from 2011 till now. At this point, me & my bandmates are still looking for a pianist // keyboardist who possess GREAT attitude and perseverance, other than having extraordinary creativity and speed. Plenty of new originals songs will be uploaded soon. In the mean time, me & ARCH Projekt are having fun in the studio covering songs from Dream Theater's ADToE, few LTEs and lots of improvisational jams.
